AMM4R I made ur paper about “hope”- It is true that we become men because of mighty hopes. Hope is the greatest happiness of man, however much, he may suffer. It is the remedy for all despair and grief. It is the chief blessing of man and hope is always rational visiting a poor man’s hut and a king’s palace. It is the best possession of man. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. It makes life worthwhile and induces other virtues like courage, perseverance and will to live. It brings smile to parched lips and laughter to desperate hearts. Only due to hope, we are able to wait for tomorrow and hope is the only commodity which is never ending and is omnipresent, we need to hope. If there is no hope, life will be dull, monotonous and miserable. There will be no aspirations, no goal. Life will be like the stagnant waters of a pool. Life goes on because we can hope. When we fail in our ventures, we are in despair, and disheartened, it is hope and hope alone that sustains us, keeps us alive and inspires us to try again. Hope has the power to teach us to strive to seek, to find and not to yield. Our freedom struggle was very tough and hard because India is a country which was then divided into small states ruled by kings and there was no unity. There were different castes, different languages and different religions. It was impossible even to dream of freedom from British rule, a powerful empire, but the freedom fighters never lost their hope and today India is a free country. Hope teaches us never to be disappointed however dark and dangerous the conditions may be and it strengthens our faith in ultimate success. We learn that the dawn is waiting at the end of night. We know that fife is full of ups and downs and mostly downs. There is no one in the world who can claim that he or she never suffered or did not have problems or failures. Problems, pain, suffering, hardships are common occurrences but very tough to bear, unless we can hope that a bright future is awaiting us. Benefits of hope are too many. It is hope that makes pain worth bearing and with hope in our hearts we are ready to face any calamity. It gives us strength to bear any set back and the loss of any venture and begin again with new and double strength. It enables us to face the battle field of life with courage and undaunting spirit and be the winner in the end. Hope is the only commodity, of which there is no shortage and no taxation. Once Goebel, The Information Minister of Hitler’s regime had said ‘If a fie is spoken many times it becomes the truth’. This statement means if we go on repeating the same thing, people begin to believe in it and it becomes real. The same goes for hope. If we make it our constant, companion, nothing is unreachable or unattainable for us. Hope lays only one condition. It is that we should never ever forget it or abandon it. We should always keep in mind there is hope for everyone however much, one may have been crushed by circumstances or by other more affluent powerful and crafty human beings.
